Thanks Joao. After thinking about it, I agree that it is more 
important to have a concise whois response. 
It's just the *-BY-IANA/RIR/LIR in the status attribute that
bugs me as we have the org-type attribute in the organisation 
object that 'begs' to be used :-)
But that's a minor point really. I'm happy to support the
proposal.

Cheers,
